	Forward Air Controller's Association Our Mission

The Forward Air Controllers Association is a fraternal organization of personnel who supported and flew the Forward Air Control mission during the war in Southeast Asia. Our mission is to foster comradeship generated in that endeavor; to preserve the history of the Forward Air Controller and to memorialize a legacy of honorable service. To do that we hold periodic reunions; have erected monuments to the fallen; published books; maintain an online chat room and this website. Forward Air Controllers represented several countries, and many branches of service. They flew a variety of aircraft and ranged in rank from the lowest to the highest. It was a chancy mission, many gave all, yet the job satisfaction was through the overhead. As a result bonds were formed and a legacy worth preserving too.

The fundamental purpose of the Forward Air Controller's Association is defined in Article II of the By-Laws. They are:

Remember those that did not survive the war, and carry on programs to perpetuate their memory.
Promote Forward Air Control (FAC) camaraderie.
Preserve the FAC history.
Promote the social welfare and common good of the community.
Assist our disabled, hospitalized, and needy veterans, and members of the Armed Forces, and their dependents, widows and orphans.
Conduct programs for patriotic, charitable, literary, or educational purposes, not limited to, but particularly in any such matters having to do with Forward Air Control.

Non-profit: The Forward Air Controllers Association is a non-commercial, non-partisan, non-sectarian, non-profit organization organized under Section 501(c)19 of the Internal Revenue Code. To read a copy of the IRS recognition letters click here.
